About
The business in short: the Howell roofs we work on, how a job gets scoped and priced in writing, and the kinds of work we say no to.
A Howell roofing business that starts in the attic
Deerwood Roofing works Howell Township: replacement, repair, leak tracing, emergency cover, storm repair and metal roofing, on a housing stock of 1950s and 1960s ranches and capes, 1980s and 1990s colonials and bi-levels, newer townhome and active-adult communities, and rural lots with barns and outbuildings.
The site is built around what local roofers report about the oldest of those houses: attics that do not breathe, decking that rots early and ice dams at the eaves. We read the attic before we blame the roof, price ventilation and roofing as separate lines, and say plainly which one you actually need.
- Roofing only, no siding, windows or gutters
- No storm paperwork of any kind
- Howell Township's sections only
- No price without seeing the attic where there is one
Four steps, no surprises
The attic read before the roof is blamed, and a written quote before any work.
Call and say where it shows
Tell us the address and what you are seeing: a stain on a top-floor ceiling, water in a thaw, a musty attic, shingles in the yard.
The attic, then the roof
Vents at the eaves and the ridge, the color of the plywood, damp insulation, then the slopes and flashings from outside.
A written quote, two kinds of line
Roofing and ventilation priced separately, with photographs of what was found in the attic and on the roof.
The work, then the walkaround
Shingles woven in and sealed down, vents fitted, photographs before and after.
How to tell a good roofer in Howell, NJ before you hire one
Every one of these is checkable, and every one of them is on ours.
They look before they price
A roofer who quotes from the driveway is guessing. A good one goes into the attic before blaming the roof.
They name the ventilation
Intake at the eaves, exhaust at the ridge, ice barrier along the eaves, written on the quote. Those decide whether a new roof keeps its deck dry.
They tell a leak from condensation
A stain from an attic that cannot vent is not a roof leak. A good quote says which you have, and does not sell shingles for it.
They put the numbers on paper
The HIC registration number, the scope and the price on a written quote, and the permit question answered before work starts.
